光绪二十三年北洋机器局造一圆银币。 三角眼,长角。其品相之精美,无同版别足望其项背。PCGS 中仅六枚获评 MS,此枚更是最高分的孤品。略带霜面,光泽跃动,光可鑑人。无任何接触痕跡,且光泽连续,正面的顶端及反面的环形有一丝日落色包浆,衬托图文更显唯美。如此完美的保存状态,成為本次拍卖的亮点之一亦名副其实, 珍罕藏品 所创下的成交价更是令人期待,可能数年后仍被传颂。
CHINA. Chihli (Pei Yang). 7 Mace 2 Candareens (Dollar), Year 23 (1897). Tientsin (East Arsenal) Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS MS-66. L&M-444; cf. K-186; KM-Y-65.1; WS-0610. Variety with dragon displaying triangle-eyes with pupils and long horns. No other example of this type can boast the beauty of the present specimen offered here. Seldom offered in Mint State, this stunner stands alone at the top as the sole finest graded example. Somewhat frosty, but still showy, luster dazzles and dances in a graceful ballet of refraction. Essentially no contact to speak of is seen and certainly nothing to break the luster.
Just a twinge of sunny toning radiates from the top obverse and reverse periphery, enlivening the surfaces. In this state of preservation, this lot is most assuredly one of the finest lots offered in the entire sale, and the RARITY ensures that the price realized will be much talked about for years. From the Kairos Collection.
